I have a Fiskars Fuse, 2 of them actually. In Love! The Accuquilt dies work fabulously well in it, as well as all the card-making dies, and the Sizzix quilt dies.

I use the June Carter template for making strips. Folding the fabric on the Accuquilt die is too putzy for me.

But the Accuquilt dies are fabulous for the shapes. I only have basic shapes...rectangles, squares, hexes, triangles. But what lifesavers they are! I can cut out all the triangles needed for my hex quilt in about an hour, and they're all exactly the same size/shape. Yay!!!!

It would have taken me at least a week to cut out all those triangles with a rotary cutter, and then they wouldn't have been identical either.

I only buy the dies when they're on sale at JoAnn's for 50% off. Or sometimes you can find them on clearance at either Joann's or Michael's. I always snap those up.
